I have a problem with the dimensions in the article....there is no way that is a 20 ft x 12 ft board, unless his room is REALLY REALLY big. It might be 144 x 240 individual LEGO dots / fake pixels, but not the quoted 144" x 240" - no sir.That being said....holy cow that is cool.

Lego XL baseplates are 48 studs x 48 studs, 15 inches a side. This is likely 45 inches by 75 inches, which is still pretty freaking big. 15 XL baseplates. Not sure who built this, but I'd estimate about $180 worth of baseplate alone if you were to buy them via brinklink. If I did this as a commission, i'd be charging just over $2,000. Probably took a long time to build as well.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be centimeters. 144cm x 240cm. Based on a ceiling height of around 8 feet, that looks about right.

I counted the number of lego blocks vertical. I counted 143, it is entirely possible I missed one. My guess is xharfire is right.

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. Your suggestion was correct. I measured the mural's height in photoshop to be about 47.14% that of the room (355px vs 753px), which would put it at 0.4714 x 96in x 25.4mm/in = 1149.5mm. Based on the lego equation of 8n - 0.2 for dimensions in mm, 144 knobs gives you 1151.8mm. So it's 144 knobs tall by 240 knobs wide.

I do like some of the more obscure titles in the mural.

Where is Maniac Mansion?

I did it your way and counted. It's exactly 144.

They're called studs. See my entry above, I laid out the size for you.

Wait, he actually remembered the evil that was Fester's Quest? Ugh, hated that game as a kid. The aliens always scared the fark out of me when I finally found them in that stupid dungeon crawler mode...

I see a Link from Zelda III: Link to the Past, a bunch of sprites from Super Mario World, a Moogle from Final Fantasy III, and a Toad from Super Mario Kart. Also, I'm pretty sure I see a Tails, which would also be 16 bit.

1) The orange guy to the right of to NES Bomberman2) The red thing below the RC Pro-AM truck/ the right of Billy Lee3) The two people on top of Metal Man's head - they look like sprites out of Robotron?

Not strictly 8 bit, but it's still pretty cool.

Zero from Mega Man X is also there; you could make a case for the 8-bit Gameboy remix games, but that's stretching it.

assjuice:Zombalupagus: Where does one get the maps for these things? Are they available online somewhere or do you have to get a hold of them the hard way, such as looking at Mario with a magnifying glass?

CSB/Senior year of college I painted an 8' tall 8 bit version of Mario on a wall of a common room for my double in my fraternity house. 4 years later and its still up. They call it the Mario room and throw themed parties in it.
